might see this bomb display inside one of two hangers, the WWII European Theater Aircraft Hanger. At the bottom of this display is a description that reads:
This American-designed bomb was particularly suitable against ammunition dumps, railway engines and cars, airplanes on the ground and all types of construction and light surface vessels. The overall length of the bomb including the tail was 57 inches with a diameter of 14 inches. The thickness of the steel bomb casing was 0.3 inches which was either a forging, seamless steel tubing or welded.
This bomb display is just one of many aircraft pieces that exist in this museum and highly worth the time to spend here and appreciate many of these historical treasures.
*NOTE* I was told by volunteer staff that many planes and historical items (like this display) often move around inside the hangers and outside on the tarmac, BUT they always stay within the museum, unless they are part of a visiting exhibition. Waymarkers should keep this in mind when searching for a particular waymark that I or someone else has posted on Waymarking.com. If, by chance, you cannot locate a particular waymark within the museum, please let me know and I'll contact the staff and inquire to its whereabouts. Thanks.
